The uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site for both its scenery and its thousands of San rock paintings. The escarpment reaches over 11,000 feet, and the Amphitheatre in the north, the Champagne Valley and Giant's Castle in the center and the Sani Pass in the south each make a good base for hiking, horse riding and trout fishing.
